The research design of this study is quasiexperimental with two groups Each group was consisted of 80 respondents. The sampling technique was consecutive. Data analysis using T-Two Sample Test as comparative test and expenditure time of ASI on control group that did not do shiatzu technique and experiment group performed shiatzu technique with α <0.05. The results of the differences from both groups were tested with T-Two Sample Test with the result value ρ = 0.003. The results showed that there are significant different between experimental and control group with p = 0. In the control group, most of the time Breastmilk expenditure was Normal (25-72 hours) whereas in the experimental group its Rapid Breastfeeding (1-24 hours). Faster breastfeeding time in the postpartum mothers of the experimental group was due to two interventions are given that early Initiation of Breastfeeding was also continued by Shiaztu Technique. Thus, in postoperative mothers with no contraindications, Shiatzu Technique was very effective given to speed up the release of breast milk.
